Abstract

The pinning of the Fermi level to the van Hove singularity and the formation of flat bands in the two-dimensional t-t' Hubbard model is investigated by the renormalization group technique. The "van-Hove" scenario of non-Fermi-liquid behavior for high-Tc compounds can take place in a broad enough range of the hole concentrations. The results are in qualitative agreement with the recent ARPES data on La2CuO4.
